Ill also be in the Clearwater area(Tampa actually) at the end of August and was curious from the locals what fish will be in the area. Mostly Im looking for tarpon. Just looking for fish above 40 lbs or so, nothing huge. What are the chances of getting into these guys at that time of year. Im looking to get a guide but in my experience different guides can say vastly different things about the same area and some just tell you what you want to hear.
